More Than Their Bodies. Aesthetic Dimensions of Nursing Care to People With Eating Disorders.
Article in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
AIMS AND
objectivesThis study aims to explore what it means and what it takes to focus on 'more than the body' in nursing care for hospitalized people with an eating disorder. METHODOLOGICAL AND JUSTIFICATION: Eating disorders are complex mental disorders with a high mortality. Nursing care in this context usually focuses on mealtime activities and nutritional support to help patients survive. Nevertheless, earlier studies from a patient perspective call for nursing care, focusing on more than the body and the patient's physical survival. The study is designed phenomenologically and is theoretically informed by philosophic aesthetics by the Danish philosopher, Dorthe Jørgensen. ETHICAL ISSUES AND APPROVALS: The study is approved by the Norwegian Data Protection service, SIKT (ref. number 947253). RESEARCH
methodsThe study is based on a phenomenological analysis of a single lived experience description told by an experienced nurse working within the field of eating disorders.
resultsThe analysis shows that focusing on 'more than the body' implies invitations to people with eating disorders to participate in everyday activities which they earlier enjoyed. This means invitations into experiences of meaning and liveliness. STUDY LIMITATIONS: The study is based on one lived experience description expressed by an experienced nurse. This is commonly accepted in phenomenological research as the results point to possible human experiences of importance. Nevertheless, this is also a limitation, as other stories could point elsewhere and as the patient's own perspectives are not included.
conclusionThe study recommends nurses to be courageous enough to include activities that let the patient experience meaning and liveliness in the care of people with severe eating disorders.
